BARNSTABLE — A Mashpee man who co-owned a Hyannis tanning salon has been indicted on nearly two dozen counts of videotaping women with his cellphone.

Luis Macedo, 48, was indicted by a Barnstable County grand jury Friday on 20 counts of photographing an unsuspecting nude person and two counts of posing/exhibiting a child in a lewd and lascivious fashion.

Macedo co-owned Sunsational Tanning on Enterprise Road in Hyannis with his daughter in February when a 29-year-old client told police she'd noticed a camera hidden in the tanning bed room she was using.

Police later conducted an undercover investigation in which they allegedly saw Macedo holding a cellphone up to a hole in the wall of an occupied room, according to court records.

The tanning salon shut down abruptly after the allegations came out. It was purchased in March by new owners.

Looking through Macedo's phone records after the initial allegation, investigators found videos and images of 12 to 13 people who were clients in February, Cape and Islands Assistant District Attorney Edward Lynch said.

One person was determined to be under 18, resulting in the two additional counts of exhibiting a child, he said.

"They expected to be in a private setting," Lynch said of the people whom Macedo allegedly videotaped while they were nude or partially nude.
